    Chose Db2

    DB2 works as good as any of these databases. It is cheaper to run than any of them. It is more solid and stable that SQL server or Netezza. It is very comparable to Oracle for reliabilty.

    But for administration, Netezza is a little simpler because it has no indexes. Netezza is …

    Chose Db2
    It's almost not comparable because they all do the same job in varying degrees. There are some things I like about Db2 that I don't enjoy about Oracle, but it mostly comes down to how it works and where it stores everything like SYS tables in Db2. MySQL is probably the fastest …

    The reason why my team and organization chose to go with Oracle Database 12c with it stacked up against IBM's DB2, or Microsoft's SQL server, as when using other Oracle products, it has been much easier in the past to work along side with other Oracle products, which by the way …

    Oracle 12c is superior to SQL Server for large mission critical databases and applications. We also used DB2 in the past. We migrated many of our SAP applications from DB2 to Oracle 11.2 several years ago. These applications are now on Oracle 12c.

    IBM DB2 is extremely heavy as compared to Oracle and is expensive for the price we pay for the product. MySQL doesn’t have most of the features that Oracle has.

    Chose Oracle Database
    MySQL: I used MySQL as part of an old CRM. I think that's also light. But, Oracle seems to have better speed and reliability.
    DB2: I used DB2 mainly on mainframe and z/OS. I always felt that it's cumbersome to access and write queries on DB2.

    Oracle Database is best in business, consistent, and robust. Even the standard version is sufficient for the best performance. The main thing is I have never seen corruption and in my opinion, it is best when used with Linux.

    Oracle Database 12c is far superior to Microsoft SQL Server (or any other database in fact). For starters, Oracle 12c offers much better performance and higher reliability. That itself should make the difference. Oracle 12c is also superior in terms of features.
